What happens when someone dies?

  1

Psalms 146:4
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.

  2

Ecclesiastes 3:19-20
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts;
even one thing befalleth them:
as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea,
they have all one breath;
and man hath no preeminence above the beasts:
for all is vanity. All go unto one place;
all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust,
and all turn to dust again.

  3

Ezekiel 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father,
so also the soul of the son is mine:
the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

  4

Ecclesiastes 9:5,10
For the living know that they shall die:
but the dead know not anything,
neither have they any more a reward;
for the memory of them is forgotten.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;
for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge,
nor wisdom, in Sheol, whither thou goest.

  5

John 11:11,13-14
These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them,
Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go,
that I may awake him out of sleep.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death:
but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
14 Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
